 | If only the heroine had common sense..... Jul 18, 2009 |
Having lived for many years in South America, I always appreciate Windle's making the country "come alive". Her vivid descriptions and attention to detail truly make her books exciting and fun to read.
This one is no different. While you read about how the CIA and other American agencies have "covered" up a few of their blunders, you also see that they are not all bad and some of them even think they really are doing it for the good of the United States.
Others have told enough about the story that I don't need to elaborate, only to suggest that as in most of Windle's books (all of which are well written) you have the naive female who just doesn't seem to want to listen to anyone else and just keeps blundering along getting herself and others into trouble until she is "saved". Kind of like what God is doing with each of his children, but it does make you want to rush through to the end and hope that someone finally shakes some sense into her head.
Other than that--great book and it does make South America come alive.

All Things
"Betrayed" is a frightening, but excellent story about what could happen in the boiling cauldren of South America. Mrs. Windle paints a wonderful picture of the rain forest and jungles, while at the same time describes the horrors of the drug trade and how it uses the greed of fallen mankind to propagate itself. She presents the good side of man's redemption when they yield to God. I couldn't put the book down, and it is one of those books that I plan to re-read. | | | | Riveting! Jun 26, 2008 |
I got this book from the local public library, and read it in 2 sittings.
I can't add much to the other reviews, but I will say that I liked the book enough to come to this site looking for more by the same author (since our library doesn't carry them).
Very enjoyable and intriguing. I was glad to see that I had the bad guys figured out midway, it adds to the feeling of reading a detective novel ;-) | | | | Excellent Read for Lovers of Suspense! Jun 12, 2008 |
| This is a book I can highly recommend for suspense lovers, and for those who like to learn about other countries. Ms Windle includes a lot of background information about Guatemala and its politics. She also shares much about the geography of the area and the people with their many problems. The story is about Vicki Andrews, who along with her younger sister Holly, is adopted under circumstances unknown to them when their parents are killed during what the US government announces was a robbery. Vicki discovers her sister's dying body in a dump near where she is staying, and the search is on for answers. That search produces more questions than answers at first, and Vicki comes to regret starting it. She learns the history of her sister's singing of This is My Father's World, and she also learns that this is her Father's world. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in my library by this author. | | | | Wonderful Suspenseful Book with a message... Mar 31, 2008 |
Jeanette's new book Betrayed is an action-packed international thriller that has readers traveling to Guatemala. Anthropologist Vicki Andrews discovers that her sister has been murdered. The Guatemalan authorities are dismissing her death as another one of the country's frequent muggings or a kidnap-for-ransom. Vicki refuses to accept that her sister would be the victim of a random attack.
She launches her own investigation and uncovers corruption buried so deep that it crosses international boundaries and may cost Vicki her life. This book consistently had me wondering what was going to happen next. While reading the book, I knew that even though the story may not be true, many of the problems Vicki faces are problems many people in Guatemala face everyday. | | | Write your own review about Betrayed
